As Twitchy reported on Tuesday, President Donald Trump was directing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off all trade with Spain after Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez refused to allow the United States to use Spanish military bases.
The Muslim world is divided about Iran:

This editor doesn't know enough Spanish to confirm the translation here, but Sánchez has apparently taken a look at Operation Epic Fury from a feminist lens:

If there's anything less useful in a war with Iran than Spain, it has to be the European Parliament. Also putting a feminist spin on Operation Epic Fury was Irene Montero, Spain's member of the European Parliament.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero:
“No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression.
Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Lebanon. Not in Afghanistan.
And it will not happen in Iran either.
They hide behind women’s rights to justify their colonial wars.” pic.twitter.com/Es3EuJMxpw
No word about the tens of thousands who were gunned down by the regime over the past month? We're not sure whose college-addled brain came up with the idea that the U.S. is hiding behind women's rights, but trust us, that's not our primary concern.

We are fed up with our rights, our bodies, and the violence women suffer being used as… pic.twitter.com/7JNHbTC3tv
The post continues:
… excuses to justify illegal bombings and imperialist aggression.
All year long they call us ‘woke’ and blame us for everything. But when they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for money, their colonial and imperialist wars — suddenly they use women’s rights as their justification.”
Nobody's using women's rights as their justification, cupcake.
Ha. That's really rich - a Spaniard calling Americans "colonists."

I’m assuming she’s going to meet with the Iranian female leadership to discuss this

Speaking for oppressed women as a free woman, in a country largely secured by those that back them, is a wild wild thing to do.

Well those Jewish women in postwar Germany will be surprised to hear that

Lol. Every woman in Western Europe was freed by American bombs.

We've never fought a war to free women from oppression. Its usually an indirect benefit. WWII comes to mind. This is 70 million people. Not women alone.

She doesn't care about Iranian women, she just cares about her politics and power.
The women dancing in the streets of Iran and burning pictures of your friend, the former Ayatollah, beg to differ.

Moron.
She can enjoy fighting an Islamic invasion again just like her country did in the 16th century.

Spain is being led by imbeciles.

Spain is really embarrassing itself. The prime minister is no better.
